Tigers finish fourth at the WPGA Invitational U13 Tournament

Tournament Update: Grade 6-7 Soccer

The Tigers had a strong first day going undefeated in three (vs. St John’s, WPGA, GNS), before getting thumped by an excellent Collingwood team, and giving up one goal in a nail-biter vs. SMU to close out the day. As a result, we faced SMU in a rematch for 3rd place.

The Tigers closed off the tournament finishing fourth, after tough competition vs. SMU. The players are learning to spot the need for different roles that are required across the field, and to apply soccer strategies that combine the roles into the more complex teamwork of 11 a-side soccer.

Thanks to all of you for enabling us to participate in the tournament, and to our team supporters who cheered on the team throughout the day – especially Chamkaur, who definitely wins Booster-of-the-Day Award!

The sun was bright, the sky was blue as Cresent Park, South Surrey, was invaded by Tigers – Yorkie Tigers that is. The Jr. X-Country Team attended their first race of the season hosted by the Oceans Athletics Track and Field Club on Saturday, October 2nd.

Not only was it the first cross-country race for the Grade 3’s, but they were the first group to take to the start line. They ran a fabulous race and were an inspiration for their fellow Yorkies. Each girl ran her best, but also encouraged their fellow teammates before and even during their race. As the girls finished their race, it was a pleasure to see them waiting to congratulate their friends. It looks like the Jr. X-Country Team is off to another great season. Congratulations girls!
